I was wonder what the official word is on tools for creating mods on Slime Rancher. I'm aware that there used to be a mod tool called "BetterBuild" which is no longer functional due to significant game updates. Are there any modding tools provided by Monomi or any plans for this?

If no tools exist to date, is there any guidance that can be provided for manual mods? I'm an experienced game modder so I have familiarity here. I noticed there is a Plugins folder within the game directory so perhaps this could be used to load a Unity plugin?

Thank you for making such a great game to date. Any help would be appreciated!

I know at one point they had said they weren’t supporting it, but that was prior to the full release and I haven’t checked since if that changed. EmeraldPlays though is a decent source if your looking to have a starting point.

Same username as I have on discord. I do no damage challenges if you have ideas for those feel free to share

That'd be great! What do you think my starting point should be? Am I on the right track with utilizing the Plugins folder? (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Slime Rancher\SlimeRancher_Data\Plugins)

I'm actually really curious about this as well, so if someone has any guidelines for starting out (I have a little prior modding experience) it would be greatly appreciated.

It would, but consoles tend to have limitations. The most obvious being not having access to the software PC users have, and game files being harder to get to. Sony in particular don't like Early Access, so PS users draw the short straw there. And they only allowed mods on the PS4 edition of Skyrim after player backlash. Even now after they've changed their minds, third party assets cannot be used for mods.

So until Consoles are on the level of PC gaming, with easy access to game files and modding software, I can't see it being a mainstream thing anytime soon.
